On
Saturday, September 23th, HighPoint Marina held the “Season Ending Fish-off” to
conclude the 2017 fishing tournament season.Of the 66 different teams that fished this season 52 were eligible for
the finale which launched on a beautiful summer like morning.The anglers fished in the bright sun the entire
day which made for an unseasonably hot afternoon of fishing.Following the weigh-in the anglers, and some
of their families, enjoyed a cook out under the HighPoint Pavilion.Gene
Hall of Glen Allen and Patrick O’Rourke of Inwood, WV, won the event with a 16 lbs.12
oz. bag.They also were awarded the
prize for big fish, a 6 lb. 8 oz. lunker. Larry Wollersheim, Louisa, of team Wollerheim/Cox
fished the event solo and came in second with 15 lbs.Third place went to season winners Eric
Johnson, Partlow and Nate Sullivan, Fredericksburg with 12 lbs. 12 oz.

The
seasonal tournaments were held every Friday evening beginning June 2nd, and ran
for 12 weeks throughout the summer, concluding on August 25th.Cash prizes were awarded after every
tournament and each teams’ total weight was kept on a cumulative basis.The top 52 teams at the end of the season
qualified for the "Season Ending Fish Off”.Throughout the summer nearly 1,500 pounds of
fish were weighed and released.Collectively 66 different teams participated throughout the season with
52 of the teams weighing fish. On average 28 teams fished each week.

This
season was filled with thunder, lightning, rain delays, and cancellations as
the summer weather patterns did not want to co-operate with the anglers. Participants kept close to their smart phones
and internet just about every week tracking the weather and possible
storms.Fortunately the first tournament
went on without any delays as 34 teams took to the water to try and unseat perennial
champions Larry Wollersheim/Preston Cox.The duo had been champions the past 10 out of 11 seasons and had won the
season championship the past 9 years. KJ
Greer and Repo Harper of Beaverdam won the season opener with 14 lbs.12 oz. They
remained competitive all season while finishing 5th overall.The father and son team of Danny and Joey
Minter, Spotsylvania, took the season lead in week 2 by winning that week’s
tournament with a 14 lb. 4 oz. bag. They
also carried the big fish for the season for much of the summer.Greer/Harper
won the week 3 tournament, however, a strong showing in all three tournaments jettisoned
long running partners Eric Johnson, Partlow and Nate Sullivan, Fredericksburg
to the season lead.This duo never looked
back.Each week they added to their
total and finished the season in first place with a total weight of 135 lbs. 1
oz. A fitting finish for a strong team
that had placed 2nd in each of the past 6 seasons.Wollersheim/Cox finished a strong second with
98 lbs. 11 oz. Four teams battled for third
place throughout the month of August.The teams alternated positions several times but by summers end John
Doyle, Ashland and Eugene Carter, Spotsylvania finished 3rd with a weight of 88
lbs.The ageless duo of Doug Atchison/Lenny Hester
finished 4th with 86 lbs.Dean
Perrin of Locust Grove had big fish for the year with a 6 lb. 10 oz. lunker.

SEASON SUMMARY 2016

PRESS
RELEASE

On
Saturday, September 24th, HighPoint Marina held the “Top 50 Fish-off” to
conclude the 2016 fishing tournament season.Of the 67 teams that fished this season 46 of them were eligible for the finale which launched on
a beautiful almost summer like morning.The anglers fished in the bright sun most of the day which made for a
comfortable day of fishing.Following
the weigh-in the anglers, and some of their families, enjoyed a cook out under
the HighPoint Pavilion.Season winners Larry Wollersheim, Mineral, and
Preston Cox, Fredericksburg, won the event with a 15 lbs. 7 oz. bag.They also were awarded the prize for big
fish. The team of John Potter,
Spotsylvania and Robert Campbell, Bumpass placed second with 12 lbs. 2 oz.,
beating the 3rd place team of Phil Wilcox and PJ Cox by 11 ozs.

The
seasonal tournaments were held every Friday evening beginning June 3rd, and ran
for 12 weeks throughout the summer, concluding on August 26th.Cash prizes were awarded after every
tournament and each teams’ total weight was kept on a cumulative basis.The top 46 teams at the end of the season
qualified for the "Top 50 Fish Off”.Throughout the summer nearly 2,000 pounds of fish were weighed and
released.Collectively 67 different
teams participated throughout the season with 46 of the teams weighing fish. On
average 33 teams fished each week.

This
season was one of the closest ever as teams have become more competitive trying
to knock off perineal winners Wollersheim/Cox. John
Doyle and Eugene Carter won the season opener with 15 lbs.14 oz., the 2nd
consecutive year in which they’ve won the first tournament.They remained competitive all season while
finishing 5th overall.Long
time teammates Preston Cox and Larry Wollersheim took the lead in week 2 by
winning that week’s tournament with a 14 lb 15 oz bag.It looked as if they were going to win the
season championship with ease as they also won week 3 and took a commanding
lead.But the team of Eric Johnson of
Partlow and Nate Sullivan of Fredericksburg weren’t about to let that
happen.They won the next 3 tournaments
and by week 6 had a 10 lb. lead.By
August Wollersheim/Cox had chipped that lead away and took over first
place.They held a narrow lead for the
next several weeks, but the overall season winners for the past 10 out of 11
seasons, cemented another championship by winning weeks 8, 9 and 10.By then it became apparent they would win
their 9th consecutive, season championship. They finished with 157 lbs. and five, first
place finishes. Johnson/Sullivan finished the season with 131 lbs and three,
first place finishes.An honorable
position they have held for six consecutive seasons. Three teams, Jimmy Cornwell/Scot Sullivan; Phil Wilcox/PJ Cox; and Doyle/Carter battled for third place throughout the month
of August.The teams alternated
positions several times but by summers end Cornwell/Sullivan had emerged in
third place with a weight of 108 lbs..Wilcox/Cox finished with 98 lbs.Wayne Dorman of Louisa had big fish for the
year with a 7 lb 3 oz. lunker.
